Switching to local instance easily? (lemmy.one)

Is there any easy way to switch to your home instance directly from a post to allow you to comment? I currently use "instance assistant for lemmy" but that only allows me to view the community from my own instance.

Sometimes I like browsing other instances and only their communities and the only way I can figure out how is to visit that instances link directly, however when I want to comment my current workflow is to copy paste the post url into my instances search and view it that way. Is there any addon that does what instance assistant does but also works for posts?

There is a lot of those quirkinesses IMO, also like browse another instances communities (only) and subscribe to those you like, mannually possible but a hassle today.

I think third party apps (and the official Jerboa + web client if they want to) could handle those kind of things, I don't think Lemmy (core Lemmy API) needs any modifications for this to work.

An app could have the "explore all local communities of " (a right click burger menu, or an icon for example on any server name) and when in this "explore all local communities from this single instance" space, let you sub etc.

Not exactly what you asked for, but it's all in the same vein; UX/UI stuff. Every app can do their way too, to check out what's nice and easy for their users.

IMO anyways.
